Niall Fynes, a.k.a. 'œthat tall emo dude in Henri Faberge and the Adorables'?, has feelings'¦ feelings best expressed on stage. Township Expansion is a convenient outlet for those feelings. Sef got in Fynes' face and asked him a few questions. Questions about feelings.

Township Expansion. What the fuck, yo?

The simple answer is 'œI recorded a CD on my own, and needed a band to play shows with me.'? It sounds like you should be shoving my shoulder when you say the 'œwhat the fuck, yo'? bit. Do it. Go. Shove me. '¦There. Wicked. Harder though, don't worry. Really shove me. Make me believe you. '¦AH. Nice. Now say it again while you're'¦ Good. Good. Okay. That's enough.

Our esteemed managing editor praised your LP for being 'œgood pussy music'?...surely that's worth a box-punch or two?

Or two? I'll punch two different boxes once, if that's okay. I agree with the pussy bit anyway. If a few of the songs were a little more sniveling in places they'd be better suited to someone's ex-girlfriend's answering machine. The music's succinct and catchy at least. That's bound to redeem the whiny parts. Snivel Pop has a ring to it.

This is where you go ahead and shamelessly name-check some influences'¦

Oldies. Really, that's about it. There's a radio in our bathroom that's almost always tuned to one of the AM oldies stations. I think I'll always associate Bobby Curtola's voice with awkward nudity and bare light bulbs.

How have your Adorables band mates reacted to your solo gig? You ARE ditching them to go solo, right?

Ditching them, followed by co-opting some of them briefly. Dana, Andy, Brendan, and Henry will be on stage. Call it 'œMilking The Adorables Hype'? if you want; some of them are my roommates, so I'll call it 'œA Marriage of Convenience'?'¦ but only '˜cause you stole my first answer.

What should we, the audience, expect from this Wavelength gig of yours?

There've only been about five or six Township shows in total, and they've been so spread out and with varying line-ups that I can't say what it'll sound like. Using Adorables shows as the yardstick for everything else: Less sweating, less wrestling, slightly more trumpet playing, fewer songs about messy fucking. You can stop shoving me now.
